With the success of Dead Puppet Society s production of Laser Beak Man, of the industry it is produced in and the audience it plays too and these nominations, there is living proof of the truth and possibility of opportunity, inclusion and acceptance! the things we have sought for all of Tim's life. This is the kind of world we want to live in, this is the kind of inclusion that breaks down the barriers and changes the future. This is the kind of hope all families living with #autism need We are enormously proud and happy and thankful to see Laser Beak Man the theatre production recognized like this. It is also a truly amazing and unforgettable show thanks to the brilliance of all the team.

In Sydney as keynote speakers for the magnificent Starlight Children's Foundation Australia conference for all the captain Starlights who support and brighten the lives of sick and seriously ill children in hospitals across Australia and some have come from the UK. Another standing ovation for Tim as we share his amazing story , we should have been giving that room of heroes a standing ovation for the wonderful work they do for the sick kids. Always be thankful for good health. With Starlights Jono and CEO @Louise Baxter at @LaneCove Sydney. Such a pretty city. Our message is always ....All you need is love. #capfest2017 #love
